Quick verdict
Overall pick Bear Brand Adult Plus Powdered Milk Drink 1.2 kg
Bear Brand Adult Plus scores higher overall (70 vs 65) and costs less per 100 g (about ₱44 vs ₱77), but its listing gives no serving size or nutrition table. Anlene Gold gives a serving and a daily cost (about ₱62 a day at two glasses) and states low fat and no added sugar, but its headline study claim names no study and its expiry field shows 2023.
Choose Bear Brand if
You want the cheapest fortified milk per 100 g, sold by Shopee's own supermarket, and you will read the can for the serving and nutrition information.
Choose Anlene if
You want a listing that states how much to make (about 40 g in 200 ml) and how often, with low fat and no added sugar, and you will check the expiry date on the can.
The overall pick follows the weighted Wellness Picks score (70 vs 65 out of 100), not the number of criteria won below.
